There's at least one thread with a long discussion of this nickel-and-diming.

You're absolutely correct about the Sheraton charging for soft drinks in the lounge. That is a MAJOR strike against it; but the overall property is still a solid choice, IMO. Regardless, Starwood corporate (which owns and manages this Sheraton) should be ashamed of their decision to charge for all drinks (save coffee and tap water) at this property. This policy runs counter to virtually every other club lounge on the planet, so guests are routinely surprised to get a bill for their diet coke or club soda here.
